When last I was there with my wife's family we did the family style meal. It is a good way to get all the old chestnuts like saganaki, spanakopita and moussaka. It is good Greek comfort food.http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m126647.ashxFindPost/126661Tue, 17 Jul 2007 22:31:42 GMTRE: GREAT Greek In Chicago (jerzeydawg)<blockquote id='quote'><font size='1' face='Arial, Helvetica' id='quote'>quote:<div style='border: 1px #999999 solid; background-color: #DCDCDC; padding: 4px;'><i>Originally posted by JAHelgy</i><br><br />Wanna eat some fantastic Greek food in Chi-town without having to take out a second mortgage????????

So far all that we tyried were great. The bakery has some excellent breads too!http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m126647.ashxFindPost/126654Wed, 30 Mar 2005 17:43:31 GMTRE: GREAT Greek In Chicago (sugarlander)We always liked the Parthenon for dolmades, pastitsio (noodle casserole) and roditys rose wine. And baklava. <br>Diana's grocery was also good.http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m126647.ashxFindPost/126653Wed, 23 Mar 2005 14:26:28 GMTRE: GREAT Greek In Chicago (hatteras04)<blockquote id='quote'><font size='1' face='Arial, Helvetica' id='quote'>quote:<div style='border: 1px #999999 solid; background-color: #DCDCDC; padding: 4px;'><i>Originally posted by Peachpie9</i><br><br />ChiFolks:<br><br>So what do you EAT when you go to these Greek places? <br><br>We briefly had a Greek restaurant in our little town and I dined there often until it closed.

It's always fun to order the saganaki (Kasseri cheese)as they flame it tableside and everyone yells &quot;Opa!&quot; My wife loves the stuffed grape leaves (dolmades) and the greek meatballs (keftethes) and we sometimes get the spinach and cheese pastries (spinakopita)to split as well. Usually you can get some good seafood in greek restaurants too. One thing that I almost never get in a good greek place is the gyro meat becasue to me it usually isn't that much different from what you can get at the fast food places or from street vendors. I am not personally big on greek desserts as I don't care that much for honey. But a nice Ouzo or two will aid digestion. Three or four and you won;t even remember eating <img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/biggrin.gif" alt="" data-smiley="<img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/biggrin.gif" alt="" data-smiley="[:D]" />" />http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m126647.ashxFindPost/126652Wed, 23 Mar 2005 12:55:34 GMTRE: GREAT Greek In Chicago (kland01s)I like the Greek Islands Lomabard location, on 22nd Street. I enjoy just about any lamb dish but we always get skordalia....lotsa garlic!http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m126647.ashxFindPost/126651Wed, 23 Mar 2005 12:20:26 GMTRE: GREAT Greek In Chicago (hatteras04)I like Greek Islands and it is a great place to go with a big loud group. However, for the quality of the food, I have to say I like The Parthenon just down the street a little bit better. <br><br>BTW if you are on Halstead you HAVE to stop into the Pan Hellenic Bakery (I think the address is 322 S. Halstead) and get a pound or two of Louie's cookies. These are the best cookies I've ever had. Basically it is two cookies that are a cross between a brownie and a chocolate crinkle sandwiched together with some chocolate cream/frosting. My wife and I love them so much that we have even called and had them shipped overnight to Ohio.http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m126647.ashxFindPost/126650Wed, 23 Mar 2005 09:11:42 GMTRE: GREAT Greek In Chicago (JAHelgy).......OR make desert Xtra FUN! <img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/001_tt1.gif" alt="" data-smiley="<img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/001_tt1.gif" alt="" data-smiley="[:X]" />" />http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m126647.ashxFindPost/126649Wed, 23 Mar 2005 07:59:03 GMTRE: GREAT Greek In Chicago (mr chips)I have been to Roddity's in Chicago with all 3 wives and a live-in girl friend.
